US Army on Whether Captain America Entitled to Back Pay

If Captain America was a real person, he may have been entitled to over $3 million in back pay, according to official US Army spokesman Wayne Hall.

In repose to fan theory thread on Reddit, Hall told The Tribunist (via ComicBookMovie.com) that "if Capt. Steve Rogers (aka Captain America) were not a fictional character and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and recovery actually real, he may actually be entitled to receive back pay."

That said, Hall went on to note that "a wide variety of variables would have to be taken into consideration to actually calculate the true amount of back pay to which he would be entitled to receive."

While speculation among fans pegged Cap's entitled back pay at around $3 million, Hall suggested it may in fact be even higher when taking into account any promotions the Marvel superhero may have received.
